Reason for describing collection: | taxonomic analysis |
Taxonomic list comments:clearly overlies the Shoreline localities Leite cites 858 small and 59 large mammal specimens, but then lists 109 identifiable large mammals (not counting the peccary and gomphothere); apparent total is 967 Voorhies' small mammal list is apparently more up to date than Leite's "Anouroneomys minimus" is actually from Black Butte: see Bown 1980; also omitted by Voorhies 1990 "cf. Osteoborus sp." is omitted by Wang et al. 1999 |
